Page Templates
ADEA.ORG
The template name indicates which components are present. A pre-set Title means the title pulls from the page title automatically.
ADEA will mostly want to use these two templates:
- If you want an interior page with Title and 'In this section': use "Interior - Title, Navigations"
- If you want an interior page with only the Title: use "Interior - Title"
These are also available:
- If you want a full width page: use "Blank"
- If you want the interior page columns but no pre-set Title or In this Section: use "Interior-Blank"
- If you want an interior page with only 'In this Section': use "Interior - Navigations"
- If you want an interior page with an image behind the Title and 'In this section': use "Title, Navigations with Background Image."
- If you want an interior page with only the title and an image behind the Title: use "Title with Background Image."
